Horizon Roundtable 2020 FET Projects

On December 15, 2016, a round table was held with the participation of high-level representatives from Member States, leading European research organizations, European industry and academic research associations. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss at the highest level the priorities for future initiatives of the Advanced Technologies of the Future (FET) program within the framework of Horizon 2020. Participants identified key challenges that could be addressed through future FET projects in key areas such as ICT for a Connected Society, Health and Life Science, and Environment, Climate and Energy.

Earlier this year, 24 proactive technology ideas were proposed in an open public discussion. As a next step in the Horizon 2020 Program for the period 2018-2020, the Commission will launch a call for proposals covering the above areas.
